## TL;DR

This paper uncovers large-scale self-similar skeletal structures in the universe, consistent across galaxies and quasars, revealing a fractal-like topology with specific cartwheel-shaped formations at immense scales.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis method, multi-level dynamical contrasting, to identify self-similar skeletal structures across different cosmic phenomena and scales.

## Key findings

- Discovery of cartwheel structures with diameters around 10^27 cm.
- Identification of similar skeletal structures in quasars up to 10^28 cm.
- Evidence of self-similarity across diverse cosmic environments.

## Abstract

An analysis of the redshift maps of galaxies and quasars has revealed large-scale self-similar skeletal structures of the Universe of the same topology which had been found earlier in a wide range of phenomena, spatial scales and environments. The "cartwheel" type of structure with diameter ~ 1.5 10^27 cm is discovered in this analysis by means of the method of multi-level dynamical contrasting. Similar skeletal structures in size up to 1.5 10^28 cm are found also in the redshift maps of quasars.
